Santa dressed in a fur suit with a wide belt into which are tucked pieces of mistletoe, holds hands with Mother Goose to dance in an interior. The "Cat and the Fiddle" provides music and a "Little Dog" seated next to roaring fire laughs to see such fun. The related wood engraving appeared on the cover of Harper's Weekly, January 3, 1880.
